Potential for Prenatal Yoga to Serve as an Intervention to Treat Depression During Pregnancy
Self-stigma and attitudes about treatment in depressed patients in a hospital setting
AIMS: Many patients have stigma about depression, which may inhibit treatment seeking. However, most previous research in this area has been conducted in outpatient samples. The current study investigated self-stigma and its relationship with treatment beliefs in depressed patients receiving psychiatric hospital treatment. METHOD: The sample consisted of 55 hospitalized patients with depressive disorders who completed measures of self-stigma, med…
Jeremy Hugh Baron, The Stomach
The stomach is an organ of historical significance. Inaccessibly situated within the abdomen, the stomach was once mysterious and unknowable. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, abdominal surgery and X-ray technologies allowed the organ to be seen for the first time in its living condition. Nonetheless, many gastric symptoms remained mystifying and puzzling. Why did some individuals suffer from chronic indigestion and not others? Why did s…
Tapping their Patients’ Problems Away
Objective: The objective was to learn about the characteristics of psychotherapists who use energy meridian techniques (EMTs). Methods: We conducted an Internet-based survey of the practices and attitudes of licensed psychotherapists. Results: Of 149 survey respondents (21.4% social workers), 42.3% reported that they frequently use or are inclined to use EMTs. EMT therapists reported higher use of a number of techniques from different theoretical…
Barriers and Facilitators of Treatment for Depression in a Latino Community
Relationship quality among HIV patients and their caregivers
Despite the increasing attention to caregivers of HIV patients, no previous study has systematically investigated the effects of the relationship quality between an HIV patient and their caregiver. The present study assessed 176 dyads consisting of an HIV-infected patient and their self-identified 'caregiver'. Relationship quality was measured by the Family Assessment Device (FAD). Dependent measures included the Beck Depression Inventory, SF-36 …
Coping and Burden Among Informal HIV Caregivers
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the role of coping on caregiver burden among a heterogeneous group of caregivers of persons living with HIV during the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy. Methods: Burden and coping were examined among 176 caregivers of persons living with HIV. Three styles of coping were examined using a 7-item scale: active-approach (task), blame–withdrawal (emotion), and distancing (avoidance). Results: …
A Telephone-Based Intervention for Depression in HIV Patients
Developing a Culturally Appropriate Depression Prevention Program
Depression is a disorder that can have particularly deleterious effects on individuals from racial/ethnic minority and low-income backgrounds. Culturally appropriate prevention programs offer a way to provide accessible and effective mental health services to these underserved populations. The authors introduce the Family Coping Skills Program (FCSP), a novel depression prevention program developed specifically for low-income Latina mothers. The …
The McMaster Approach to Families
The McMaster Approach to Families is a comprehensive model of family assessment and treatment. This paper provides an overview of the McMaster Approach and consists of five major sections. First, the under‐lying theoretical model (McMaster Model of Family Functioning) is described. Second, the three assessment instruments of the approach (Family Assessment Device, McMaster Clinical Rating Scale, McMaster Structured Interview of Family Functioning…
Life Stress and Social Supports in Depressed Inpatients
The presence of adequate social supports has been associated with a reduced incidence of psychological symptoms. It is unclear, however, whether the protective influence of social supports is because of a direct positive effect on psychological functioning or a stress-buffering effect. Furthermore, most research on life stress and social supports has focused on community-based rather than clinical samples. The present study attempts to clarify th…
A cross-cultural study of family functioning
The McMaster Family Assessment Device
This paper reports a series of studies investigating the reliability and validity of the McMaster Family Assessment Device (FAD). The results indicated that the FAD has: (a) adequate test‐retest reliability, (b) low correlations with social desirability, (c) moderate correlations with other self‐report measures of family functioning, and (d) differentiates significantly between clinician‐rated healthy and unhealthy families. Cut‐off scores for id…
